Avalon's John Schneider is the author of The Economics of Pain: Regulation, Product Liability, and the Opioid Crisis (Palgrave Macmillan). The book focuses on the recent opioid crisis in the U.S., breaking down its myriad causal factors while unpacking the complexities surrounding accurately calculating attributable costs and abatement costs. The book focuses on the underpinnings of the crisis but also explores solutions in the context of “regulation versus litigation,” and the relative strengths of each in managing transactions with uncertainty and products with inherent risks.
